This hostel is really good value for money. The breakfast is good, the location easy to reach! Only problem: the mattrass was not very good .. it really needs to be replaced by a new one. Apart from that: to be recommended!

Very nice and very clean B&B, great and helpful landlord. Don't miss a walk near the Regent Canal if you stay in FCT. It worth to see. :)

simple, nice and easy. I would come back again another time! Although I think with some little changes the rooms would look more appealing.

We were very satisfied with FCT Hotel. Low cost, but everything you need, great breakfast, very nice and friendly staff. Though we did not know till last, whether we go to London at all, Francisco was very patient and did not complicate. We cant wait to go there again soon! Thank you, Mr...

Great for a cheap restful weekend, and close to the city. Not for those looking for a party. Very clean, mini fridge in our room, fresh towels daily and daily breakfast included. Only one sink/basin for the 5 rooms, so not the best options for those who like to spend a lot of time looking good!

A small and quiet place where you find all you need for a weekend (fridge and tv in the room); sharing the bathroom is not a problem because there are only 4 bedrooms, so not many people. Clean place and good breakfast.close

Fine to stay there 4 that money. ;) maybe to less bathroom/showers. Would be nice to have a sink in each room. Taking a shower in the morning at 2.30pm, means only to have it with cold water :( anyway, keeps young and healthy.

If you have a lot of luggages is a long way to reach the hostel. It was nice staying in, breakfast was OK, rooms were very small - so be prepared... there was one thing bothering me - every 2 minutes are air planes crossing the sky and are making a lot of noise.

Francisco was very helpful, and the free breakfast was great. While FCT Bed is a little outside of central London, it's not too far from a tube stop, and I daresay you won't find a private room in central London for nearly as cheap.

Nice place for bed and breakfast, clean room, linen and bathroom. A bit away from center. Not exciting place but quiet enough for a good sleep. Thanks for checking me in even i arrived at 3am.

Very good for the price, not the most social environment if that's what you're looking for. Breakfast was a little lacking. The rooms are nice.

The area is safe, the tube within 10 minute walk. Towels and linen changed everyday. For breakfast you can eat as much as you want (cornflakes, toats with ham and cheese, jam, hot and cold milk, good coffee) and above all very friedly staff!!!we will come back!!!:)
